[quote=@Luna_Maria] oh shiiit. I lost 30 dollars in the stock market today and my judgement is cloudy. I dream that i'm going to hit the homerun in every stock I enter and I can't listen to my logical predictions. my desires are affecting my ability to reason and logically predict. I should stop and trade another day [/quote] You need to stop looking at this in short term. These are long term investments. If you buy a stock at $2 a share and it drops to $1.90 the next day. So what!? You haven't lost any money until you sell. As long as you don't sell, you are good to go. Eventually, it will come back up. Remove emotion from the equation and you will do all right.
